I watched Roger and Me again, a little while ago. And cried, again. Where I live was a Union town, voted NDP in for many years. This area has had more than it's share of depression...and what's up with JF saying Ont. 'sucks' right before the crap hit-was that intentional or just stupid? Anyway, is it ok if I ask what province you're in? Take care, peace&power to the People.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042340044944563568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322921171545547266.post-70774478830767205832009-02-07T22:32:00.000-04:002009-02-07T22:32:00.000-04:00And this one,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n3ebu...And this one,<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n3ebuL1cPA<BR/><BR/>He was the King, after all.Comrade Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699361419958081444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322921171545547266.post-86353163727877386962009-02-07T22:15:00.000-04:002009-02-07T22:15:00.000-04:00Dee, sorry for not responding sooner but the circu...Dee, sorry for not responding sooner but the circumstances in Detroit are somewhat overwhelming, and not something anyone should comment on lightly.

Seems it's a need to know item. I have read that it was in excess of 2 million, but can't remember exactly. What I did find was some pretty wild eyed and passionate articles from both MSM and blog sources and references to how the bilingualism budget monies are being spent, manipulation of polls and data amounting to gross propaganda and a possible price tag of $1.8 Billion in total for the previous 5 years and the few years coming.<BR/><BR/>There was also a reference to Lord's latest appointment as President of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. Lord graduated from law school in 1992 and was elected premier of NB in 1999 at the age of 34. Quite the resume wot?<BR/><BR/>Wiki lists Lord as Canadian Politician and lobbyist.

Perhaps analyzing how people are going to make the money to afford them would be a good to start.<BR/><BR/>Using Ottawa and Washington as examples to support this dubious theory is genuinely disingenuous. The 2.2 million price tag for said study being evidence of that. Where's the spin off from that? Where's the tangible long lasting benefits? Instead of commissioning these things in future, they should give them a picture of the horn of plenty and a lifetime lease on a rubber room.Comrade Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699361419958081444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322921171545547266.post-14663692238513888172009-02-07T08:45:00.000-04:002009-02-07T08:45:00.000-04:00The rest of the story, according to "opinion" of s...The rest of the story, according to "opinion" of some. <BR/><BR/>http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/090206/business/cbusiness_us_markets_canada_stocks<BR/><BR/>"Key stocks on the upside included fertilizer company Potash Corp of Saskatchewan , up 4.4 percent at C$110.80, Manulife Financial , which rose 4.02 percent to C$21.23, and Suncor Energy , up 3.4 percent at C$25.49.<BR/><BR/>Much of the optimism focused on Washington's stimulus package and a plan, expected to be announced on Monday, to rescue the ailing banking sector."<BR/><BR/>If one is inclined to accept this at face value, then doesn't one have to wonder how it is that these markets can ignore the magnitude of the jobs lost, which is real and tangible, only to focus on the stimulus monies which is according to many, more hope and prayers?Comrade Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699361419958081444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322921171545547266.post-37079882518476710932009-02-06T18:39:00.000-04:002009-02-06T18:39:00.000-04:00Here is what makes sense to me right now:When the ...Here is what makes sense to me right now:<BR/><BR/>When the fat lady comes to sing she'll be wearing a green shift under a blue vest.
